It is wise to pump the brakes on the anticipation that Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is switching positions, from cornerback to free safety. That decision has not been made by the Giants and certainly not been mentioned to Rodgers-Cromartie, someone with knowledge of the situation told The Post.

Reports surfaced last week that Rodgers-Cromartie, the 31-year-old cornerback, was going to return for the fifth and final year of his contract at a new position. That was news to the Giants coaches and front office personnel who would know about such a move, if it was true or had already been decided.

The Post reached out to Antrel Rolle, the former Giants safety, who said he believes the best position for Rodgers-Cromartie remains cornerback but that the veteran could make the transition, as long as he made sure to concentrate on his open-field tackling and train his eyes to see the whole field.

Rodgers-Cromartie is scheduled for a 2018 salary of $6.48 million and his salary cap hit is $8.5 million. If the Giants cut him with a June 1 designation, they would save $6.5 million on this year’s cap.
